I planted some asparagus crowns 10 days ago and they are going like gangbusters. I’m backfilling the trench about 2-3 inches a day the past few days and some shoots are 3-4 inches taller the next day.

Try some of the purple variety. I planted my bed about 15 years ago and they produce every year. (Eating some tonight). They are sweeter and more tender than the green varieties, but turn green when cooked. They don’t get as woody as the green types.
